Hi! I’m Finn LaDue and my sailing team has qualified for the Sears Cup Regatta – the US Youth Nationals - to represent New England and the Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association!

The event will be August 7 to 10 at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. We are super excited to compete at this national-level event and famous venue, build memories, and add to our sailing resumes!

This is the oldest US Sailing National Championship and the original Youth National Championship. I will be skipper for a four-person team that includes three other talented teenagers from Rhode Island and Maine. We will be racing in J22 keelboats.

For more information See: Sears Cup Page

Your support will help me cover my travel, lodging, and race fees. Any bit will help! Thank you so much.

Finn

PS - Thank you for your generous contributions so far! I want you to know that any excess funds will be donated to the LWSA's scholarship fund, so that more kids can experience the wonderful sport of sailing.
